Answer:

b. 54.9%

Explanation:

An emerald gemstone has the formula Be₃Al₂Si₁₆O₁₈. We can find the mass of each element in 1 mole of Be₃Al₂Si₁₆O₁₈ by multiplying the molar mass of the element by its atomicity.

Be: 3 × 9.01 g = 27.03 g

Al: 2 × 26.98 g = 53.96 g

Si: 16 × 28.09 g = 449.4 g

O: 18 × 16.00 g = 288.0 g

Total mass = 818.4 g

The mass percentage of silicon is:

(449.4 g / 818.4 g) × 100% = 54.91%

Consider the following reaction:
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The three statements are true

Explanation:

For the reaction:

I₂O₅(s) + 5CO(g) → I₂(s) + 5CO₂(g)

State oxidation of iodine in I₂O₅ is:

5 O²⁻ = 10⁻

As you have 2 I and the molecule has no charge, <em>oxidation state of I is +5</em>.

The carbon in CO has an oxidation state of +2 and in CO₂ is +4. That means <em>the carbon is oxidized</em>

<em />

An oxidizing agent is a substance that produce the oxidation of the agent that reacts with this one. CO is oxidized because of I₂O₅ is producing its oxidation being <em>the oxidizing agent</em>

<em></em>

Thus,<em> the three statements are true</em>.

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

alpha particles

Explanation:

alpha particles the least penetrating but potentially most damaging and gamma rays the most penetrating. A beta particle, also called beta ray or beta radiation, is a high-energy, high-speed electron or positron emitted by the radioactive decay of an atomic nucleus during the process of beta decay.

If enough changes occur in the gene pool of a species, it is possible that a new species would be created.
lianna [129]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

A gene pool is the sum total of all the genes(sum of alleles)of a species and population at any given time is known as gene pool.

The new species are created in nature by four mechanisms such as geographic isolation (allopatric speciation), reproductive isolation (sympatric speciation), mating behaviour (parapatric speciation).

Due to any of these factors when population acquire unique changes in their genes and enough changes have been introduced in the gene pool of the population with time, two population become distinct from each other and not able to interbreed leads to the formation of new species.
